Rating: 1/5Lasted 7 months

Cons: When it died, just trying to access certain files (even from a USB adapter) would make the machine think it had been pulled out. Returned to Corsair, waited 2 weeks. Finally mailed them about where my replacement was. Got it three days later: it was a "refurbished" unit. Great. Installed it. Constant BSOD and hangs. Not worth it to go through that pain again to return it, so I got another brand.

Other Thoughts: I think the above tells the story pretty well. Are SSDs really ready for general use?

Rating: 1/5do not use with intel raid

Pros: Does speed up the system. If you do not need to use the intel 10 series storage drivers, then you should be fine.

Cons: I used this product with intel 10 series storage drivers. This was used as a ssd cache drive to speed up the system. I would get the blue screen of death (bsod) a couple of times a week. After taking this drive out of the setup the bsods stopped. This is a known issue to Corsair. However, even the latest firmware update from them will not work with the latest intel drivers.

Manufacturer Response:

Dear bkb,

We're sorry that you're running into issues with our drive. Please contact our Tech Support and we'll help you troubleshoot the issue.

The online customer service representatives I dealt with were helpful, albeit vague and misinformed.

Cons: OK, so the rebate was only for $10. I submitted it a day after receiving the SSD, and got a confirmation email about a week later: my rebate was supposedly being mailed out, and I should expect up to a month for delivery.

One month later, nothing. Give it another two weeks. Nothing. Email Corsair support, they say that they don't know what happened to it, and they will send out a new one. It arrived in the mail two weeks later, but they charged a $6.95 deactivation fee for the old card. They say this is not negotiable, even though I was not told this by the customer service representatives I dealt with over email.

Terrible.

Other Thoughts: +5 for the great SSD.-4 for the non-existent rebate.

If somebody from Corsair responds to this message, they are lying about their rebates. Their rebate system is horrific.

Rating: 5/5Still going strong after a month

Pros: Here is an update to my previous review. This is by far the fastest SATA II SSD I've used under 60gb. I'm using it with Linux Mint on the / partition and a Samsung 470 128gb for the /home partition. Now my system is much faster that it was with a a single OCZ Agility II 90gb SSD.

Cons: No mounting bracket included. The price came down after I bought it.

Rating: 5/5Good Fast SSD

Pros: This SSD is the only ssd i have owned so far and just bought another one from New Egg this week for my intel Q9300 Setup. I have had no problems with the drive in that Asus mATX Nvidia board or my later board = Asrock 990FX Extreme 4 Amd 1100T BE WEI of the drive is at 7.5 to 7.6 , same speed as my memory and Cpu . The bottle neck is my video card a GT 240 WEI of 6.9 , but playing urban terror and Halo pc and web browsing don't need a better video card , maybe this summer I get one maybe. This Corsair SSD 40 is the fastest rated SATA II out there now and does keeps up with the 60 - 64 Gb SSD Sata III most of the time.

Rating: 4/5Works great so far

Pros: Faster than the OCZ Vertex 2 40gb SSD. No problems with SMART errors, like other Sandforce controller SSD's. Works great without firmware upgrades. I've installed Ubuntu and Linux Mint with no problems at all.

Cons: Kind of small capacity for a Windows 7, but plenty big for a Linux. Not a con for me, but it could be for others. That's why I gave it 4 eggs instead of 5.

Other Thoughts: I agree with the 4 and 5 egg reviews from other reviewers. There are hardly any 'bad egg' reviews, compared to some other SSD models. This drive isn't rated as high as the Mushkin 40gb SSD, but this drive is $15 cheaper too.

Rating: 5/5Great SSD

Other Thoughts: Using 4 of these in raid 0, a little pre setup is required for ssd drives before hand if you want to get closer to advertised speeds, I write zeros to each drive and use Diskpart to format them to true 128k stripe, if you just use windows to format the drive and install it will be 1024k like a normal drive even if you have set it in your raid settings.Make sure you do not format it when you install windows after you have it setup correctly. You also need to turn off windows indexing on your ssd drives.
